This year’s theme is The Year of the Farmer, which, in some ways, is the unofficial theme every year. What’s new at the Fair this year? Well, jousting, for one, with a tournament at the Grandstand Aug. 13. And there now will be alcohol at Coliseum concerts (which get started with Meghan Trainor” on Aug. 11 and “A Prairie Home Companion” on Aug. 12). More impressive are the free show concerts, include Indigo Girls (Aug. 7) and Morris Day & the Time (Aug. 8).

Galleries throughout downtown welcome pop-in visitors. A few suggested stopping points: “The Naptown Scene: Classic Jazz Photographs” by Mark Sheldon at the Indiana Landmarks Center, and painter Jerome Neal’s solo show “Circle City 360°” at Gallery 924. Meanwhile IMOCA has the home court advantage for a show title “Hoosier Salon vs. IMOCA” and poet J.T. Whitehead launches a new book, “The Table of the Elements” at the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library.

The Plain Spoken Tour, kicked off in January in South Bend, circles around to Indianapolis where John Mellencamp wraps up the 80-show trek. A portion of the ticket sales here will be donated to Riley Children’s Foundation. Carlen Carter opens the show. Bonus: Concertgoers get a digital download of Mellencamp’s “Plain Spoken” record.
